Rebuilding Mossflower Country Steampunk Roleplay

[The Skarzs]

OOC: Y'all are mean...

OOC: Hey, he was just giving info, not necessarily a solid location.

[Cornflower MM]

Arya unbuckled, smiling to herself as Vicky tried to figure out the compass. Even though she knew this wasn't really a smiling matter.

[Izeroth]

 As he stood on the deck of his ship, Hadrian saw two beasts walk up to him. Neither of them looked particularly law abiding, but if they had information then it did not matter. "I see that you're carrying illegal weapons," Hadrian addressed the group. "But I will let it pass if you have good information for me. Now, what do you have to say?"

[The Skarzs]

OOC: They weren't done with their drinks, but I suppose we can say they're done now.

BIC: Dregnar looked down at the small (compared to him) captain. "Illegal?" He lifted up his arm and looked closely at his specialized weapon. "No one's ever said that about Betty and Betsy before. Hmm, I'll need to look into that." He looked confused for a moment, then snapped his claws. "Ohh, you must want to know about those pirates we might know about! Okay then. . . There was a ship called Vicky's Revenge that left here a little less than an hour ago, heading east."

[Izeroth]

 Hadrian's facial expression remained mirthless, but inside he cheered in triumph at his good fortune. "You got the name and direction? Excellent." Producing two hundred coins from his coat, Hadrian held out his paw to the informants. "The vicky's revenge is a known smuggling ship, having hunted in this area for a couple years. If I were to catch this ship..  that would be quite a feather in my cap."

[The Skarzs]

Dregnar took the coins. "Good luck hunting," he said. He's gonna have a time trying to catch up, though, the cougar thought to himself. That other ship looks faster than this war tub.

[Izeroth]

 Hadrian stood on the bottom deck of his ship, summoning his crew to join him. After the beasts had assembled belowdecks, he addressed the group. "I have recieved word that the pirate ship Vicky's revenge is due East. Therefore, we must also go East with all haste. New Kotir and the Quarrey are both likely locations, and I plan to make a stop at both."

Sending the crew off to make his ship ready for flight, Hadrian surveyed the map. New Kotir was closer than the Quarrey, so they would check that location first.

[Cornflower MM]

OOC: Oi! Blue! Jet! Somebody! Pleas?

[Unimaginative]

Vlad voiced Dregnar's thoughts, shouting after Hadrian "That ship looked pretty fast. I'm not sure you'll be able to catch up with 'em."

[Izeroth]

OOC: Hadrian has already gone into his ship by now.

[Cornflower MM]

OOC: You never had Hadrian go in his ship - How was Han supposed to know?

[Izeroth]

OOC: I tried to say that in my post, but I suppose I should have been more clear.

[Unimaginative]

OOC: Do you want me to change that post?

[The Skarzs]

OOC: Maybe just change it so that Vlad yells it out, not really expecting to be heard.

BIC: Dregnar watched the Steel Fist prepare to set off. It was a noble craft, and he wondered for a moment how many pirates it had shot down over the seasons.

[Izeroth]

  As his ship was preparing, Hadrian heard Vlad yell something about not being able to catch up with the pirates. "They may be faster than us," Hadrian yelled back to the doubtful beasts, "but they have nowhere to hide. I've taken a look at the map, and there are only two possible destinations for the ship. With the element of surprise on my ship's side, I should be able to capture then while they're at port." Having dispelled any serious doubts, Hadrian went to oversee the prepping of his ship.

All the weapons appeared ready for action, the propellars had been freshly oiled and cleaned, and the balloons had been filled with as much helium as they could carry. Confidant that everything was ready, the captain ordered the crew of the steel fist to raise it into the air.
